You may remember a few months ago I talked about
co-ordinating an anthology for Luminosity Publishing called ‘Men for Hire’.

We had all the submissions in just before Easter
and it was great fun choosing who would go in this anthology along with myself.
I am pleased to announce the successful authors are:

Tina Donahue

Michelle Roth

Bella Settarra

And me.

Apart from myself they are all new to Luminosity –
so welcome, ladies.

The four stories are MF – with one MFM from Bella. The
theme is a firm in London run by Jennifer Archer who offers ‘men
for hire’ to do any job from dog walking, house sitting, DIY, chauffeuring,
etc. We were looking for ‘hot’ romantic stories and certainly have some great
ones including men who put exercise equipment together ‘Got Muscle?’, who do house repairs ‘Calculated risk’, and who sweep chimneys ‘Menage at Mealtime’ and my story is about Jennifer Archer herself, ‘Marital Duties’.

Over the next few months I am doing an interview
with each of the authors talking about their experiences writing their short
story as well as telling us more about themselves. So watch this space…

In the meantime, we will be doing a further call
for MM stories to go in a follow up anthology along with same theme – so watch
out for that.

When
I decided to set my latest series in an English country mansion it was to
provide a setting that was secluded for BDSM activities and large enough for
lots of visitors. Little did I realise what wonderful double entendres it was
going to generate.

For
instance, there is a scene where they attend a workshop on cropping and it
takes place in the stables (naturally – except there are no horses in sight.
The riding crop is used on a submissive).

The
heroine and her husband, James, take up the opportunity of a private tutorial
in the Master’s study – and he certainly makes it clear what is expected of
them.

The
following day they find a swing hung from a huge oak tree in a secluded garden.
This swing is not intended for children as it has shackles attached – and has a
horizontal bed anyway. Once the heroine is in place then a branch from a nearby
tree provides a suitable switch to use against Caroline’s exposed butt.

Later
on, our twosome and the man who becomes the third in their menage, Mark, watch
a branding session in the forge showing how a willing submissive can
demonstrate their commitment to their Dominant.

Add
to that a ball in the ballroom – where the emphasis is on a certain part of a
man’s body. The only music that takes place are the cries of people climaxing.

Paddling
in the boathouse where James discovers how to use everyday objects in their
play.

And
a fox hunt around the estate – with the Dominants hunting the submissives and a
gala dinner where the dinner is eaten off the subs.

Those
are just a few of the activities that takes place in ‘BDSM Weekend’. To enhance the story there is a map at the beginning
of the novel.

If

dangerous to all four of them.

Blurb:

A weekend of BDSM activities for
beginners. That was what James Shaw had booked at Lindsey Park Manor. He was
now anxious about telling his wife, Caroline. In the past, they had tried out
various implements at home, and were keen to take it further—even considering
joining a ‘swingers’ site—but it was quite daunting doing anything with others!
And then a shock awaits them on arrival in the form of James’ best friend.

As they
progress through the various events—cropping in the stables, fellatio in the
ballroom, and an unusual fox hunt—they have to deal with animosity, jealousy
and the dropping of inhibitions, as all of them grow in their knowledge of a
lifestyle which is exciting, yet challenging.

Just as the dynamics of their threesome
change considerably, a further surprise awaits them at the end of the weekend.

Review on Amazon.com: I
was transfixed on what I was reading, it had an escape quality. You are drawn
into the story. Gave the book 5 stars for stellar writing and exceptional
character development. I was hooked. Jennifer Denys, bravo more please!

Ethan
has hazel eyes, dark neat and trim hair. He’s often in suits because he’s the
CEO.

Setting: Chicago

Length: Novella

Blurb:

Her love may be the key to putting both of
their lives back on track, but to what end? When a man he’s been contracted to
kill threatens Nadia’s life, he forces her to face reality. Either they’ll
delve deeper into the desires neither expected or they may die trying.

Putting
on her purple bustier, and covering up with a coat, Beth leaves her husband engrossed
in his carpentry to walk to a neighbour’s house, the home of a swinging couple,
and a wonderful evening of kink starts—bondage, spanking, paddling, handcuffs.
Then her husband turns up.

James
held back a smile—well, a smirk, actually—at the comment Master George just
gave Caroline. The Master of Lindsey Park Manor was spot on.

After
leaving Mark, they had gone to the reception desk to make their workshop
bookings and then went for a walk outside to allow Caroline time to calm down,
before making their way to the Master’s Study on the ground floor.

Glancing
out of the corner of his eye, James saw his wife flushing deep red at this
criticism.

“Don’t
get me wrong, Caroline. There is nothing wrong with you if you are not
submissive. However, have you considered a role as a Dominant? Or even someone
who can switch from one who follows, to one who leads, and back again?”

Caroline
looked at James in confusion. It matched his own feelings. Neither of them had
considered Caroline in any other role—at least not in bedroom activities.

James sat
forward. “I’m not sure I understand, Sir. Are you suggesting Caroline
undertakes BDSM—wields a whip or whatever else—with someone else?”

Master
George responded. “Not unless she wishes to. Since Caroline has shown a
distinct lack of submissive behaviour since you entered the room, I was
wondering how you felt about her taking the role of the Dominant over you?”

Leaping
to his feet, James cried, “You have to be kidding!”

Waving
James back in his seat, Master George continued, “I didn’t mean to offend you.
I wanted to see how important it was to you to be the one in control—and
judging by your reaction, it clearly is. As Caroline’s only reaction was to
gasp in shock, rather than exclaim in delight at my suggestion, I gather this
had never entered her head.”

Sitting
down again, James ran a nervous hand through his hair. “It didn’t enter mine,
either,” he muttered, to himself as much as to the others in the room.

Although
no shrinking violet, Caroline had naturally assumed the submissive role in
their bedroom activities. Out of it, she was just as likely to tell him what to
do. Now he was thinking hard about whether he could let Caroline top him.

Jesus! Can I lay there and let her spank me? Or more?

Caroline
entered the conversation, staring at James as she spoke to Master George. She
always knew exactly what he was thinking. “It has never occurred to us before.
And, despite being fairly strong-willed, it isn’t something I want to do.”

Phew!

“And that
could be because your current roles are most suited to your personalities,”
continued the Master. “So my next question is, how experienced are you in the
ménage? Do you frequently enjoy sexual dalliance or use implements with
others?”

Caroline
went even redder if that was possible. “We—we’ve never done anything with
anyone else—always been happy just to practice with each other. The point of
coming here was to learn more. Maybe see others also trying it out, and not
feel we are freaks in any way, if that makes sense.”

Master
George nodded his head knowingly. “I can understand that entirely. It is the
reason we organise these weekends. The intention of the tutorials is to analyse
where you are in your discoveries into alternative sexual practices, and make
you think about where you can go from here. Do feel free to experiment while
you are here. That is the purpose of your visit, after all. However, don’t feel
pressured into doing something either of you do not want to do. Our policy is
always that it must be consensual.”

James had
got over his earlier shock and found the Master’s words to be thought
provoking.

Their
host hadn’t finished. “Now, what about letting others into your play? Do you
know anyone else who is here?”

Before
James could react, Caroline adamantly declared, “Absolutely not!” His lips
quirked at her outburst.

Master
George sat back in his chair, his hands clasped with forefingers against his
lips in a reflective pose. “Can you elaborate, my dear? Do you simply refuse to
contemplate any outsiders, despite the fact you said you wanted to watch others
in their activities, or is it that you are not familiar with anyone else and
that puts you off?”

As
Caroline glanced at James he just raised his eyebrows at his wife. She had to
get herself out of that one.

She
stuttered as she answered, indicating her nervousness. “We—we do know one other
guest, Mark Fuller. I would feel very awkward doing things with him. In some
ways it would be easier with strangers.”

James
nodded. He actually agreed with his wife. At the same time, he felt very sad
for Mark and wondered if his friend would find someone else with whom to
hook-up. His mind strayed then, and James started thinking about Mark having
sex with Caroline. He grimaced. Although he quite liked the idea of watching
her with other men, it didn’t feel right her doing it with Mark. It might make
things awkward for their friendship afterwards.

“So,
James,” Master George was talking to him and James started, realising he had to
concentrate. “Let’s consider that. How do you feel about involving others in
your play if they are strangers?”

Glancing
at Caroline, James saw her give a slight shrug. It was one thing to joke about
doing it, but quite another when it was presented to you as something that
could well happen. “I think we would talk about it first. We’ve always
discussed these things together. But possibly.”

“Very
good. People in general would find a lot out about themselves if they opened up
more,” stated the Master rather enigmatically. He was writing in a large,
ornate notebook. “I will see what I can arrange.”

James’
heart leapt in his chest. Jesus! What
have we let ourselves in for?
